Hans Kamp Seminar in Language and Logic

Each spring I organize the Hans Kamp Seminar in Language and Logic, held in honor of Kamp's long association with the philosophy department at UT Austin. The seminar is organized around two or three distinguished visitors who give a departmental colloquium talk and run a seminar session on their work.
